Jalen Brunson returns from ankle sprain as Knicks face Suns

NEW YORK -- Jalen Brunson returned to the New York Knicks' lineup Sunday against the Phoenix Suns after spraining his right ankle a month ago.

Brunson missed 15 games after he was hurt late in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on March 6. He practiced fully with the Knicks for the first time since the injury on Friday and was cleared to return Sunday following a pregame workout at Madison Square Garden.

Backup point guard Miles McBride also returned from his eight-game absence with a groin injury, putting the Knicks in good health heading into the final week of the regular season.
